My philosophy professor, who, I believe, is also a Muslim, began our last class by "indoctrinating" us over Terri Schiavo. I thought this was hilarious, because when he was saying she should be kept alive, I was shocked. What? A college professor? Advocating.. a Conservative policy??
Most of my college professors never even mentioned politics. In my math classes, programming, and Psych of Human development, it wasn't mentioned. In Educational Psych, it was only related with the politics of schools (although they brought up the fact that crack and cocaine are the same drug, but with different punishments under the law). In Sociology, it ocassionally was brought up, but really, not too often. Most of our debates were about whether or not Sociology was valid, as a science. Many of us were Psych students and had clashes with it. And then, there's my Psych 101 and Social Psych professor. Politics were discussed, but always in an objective manner. The professor often said, "I don't know", and when politics were discussed, he mentioned how psychology would affect both candidates (such as the actor\observer effect, among policies--if Bush got caught getting a blowjob, he'd still be considered better than Clinton by conservatives--And if Bush's father got caught getting a blowjob, the DNC would've crucified him).
And now... a college professors argues for Schiavo's life?! Wow. Perhaps college professors aren't so liberal, after all. And this is a Philosophy professor. And a Muslim. Gosh.
Needless to say, I have decided to sue my college for 'indoctrinating' me. After hearing the lecture, for a split-second, the Conservative brainwashing kicked in and I thought, "Yeah. He's right about Schiavo", but then, I had another class and they fed me liberal propaganda once again, and all those thoughts went away.
